Should I purchase an Electronic Keyboard or Acoustic Piano? And Where?

I would recommend an acoustic piano as opposed to an electronic keyboard for more than one reason. There are keyboards with "weighted" keys, but it's not the same (at all) when compared to a good acoustic piano, particularly a good grand. But even a good upright is MUCH better than an electronic keyboard for learning technique, expression, etc. It's much easier to go from playing an acoustic to a keyboard than vice versa. Granted, they are getting closer all the time to being able to match an acoustic (tone, "feel", etc.) but are not there yet, and I'm not sure they ever will be. Another important aspect to consider is your investment. Anything electronic (including a keyboard) is constantly being updated. In my opinion, they are far more expensive in the long run than a good acoustic instrument when you consider the fact that the electronic version will be obsolete in no time! They're like cars. As soon as you buy one, it has already depreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend purchasing the best acoustic piano that you can afford. If for whatever reason you want to sell it later, you can sell for as much (or more) than you paid for it, provided it was a quality instrument to begin with, and that you have maintained it well. Learn how to properly maintain it, and you won't have a problem.
